Bolton fan here. Gartside is an idiot. Always was. Always will be. Should stick to letting the players do the talking on the pitch

I can’t believe that even someone as stupid as Gartside has come out with this - surely it has to be rubbish made up by the media. If it is true - are we going to sue for the penalty at ManU last week? Sheffield United didn’t score many away from home and I don’t think they won any games away from home. Unfortunately the deserved to go down and now they are opening up a can of worms for football in general. Incidently, according to EPL rules, clubs cannot sue each other.

I have been a bolton fan all my life, and I have to totally agree with all the other comments. Cartside is an absolute disgrace to the club and the term “football”. Scores should be settled on the pitch, and not in boardrooms/courts where greedy chairmen look for any excuses to line their pockets with even more money. Goes to show what poor character Gartside has as he is now considering selling the club to overseas investment, even though he has spent all his “professional” life ridiculing foreign investment. Let’s hope we do are talking on the pitch this weekend, and have a good game for once.

I was in the middle of editing that! Anyway, once people start to see stupid claims like this the more they’ll realise that these things can’t be sorted out after the fact.

Neil Warnock said that relegation shouldn’t be on his CV as he took Palace into the bottom three in the championship. Sheffield Utd. kept most of their players and are heading that way themselves. Fact is they weren’t good enough to stay up. End of. Hopefully. Maybe, anyway, how many whippets can you buy with 30 million?

The whole thing’s getting silly now. To be honest, the more stupid claims like this the less likely Sheffield Utd are to be given anything. Once people start to see that you can’t sort these things out with hindsight. It has to be done right at the time. If they’re not happy with the punishment the Premier League handed us then they should sue the Premier League.

Some 85 year old geezer from Middlesex Cricket Club reckons we should stump up 30 million?
Ok then.
